Financial Support for Children
A parent’s responsibility to provide financial support for his or her children takes priority over all commitments, even when the children do not reside with that parent. A parent who has the care and control of a child or children can seek support from the other parent by either of two means:
- Court ordered payments of maintenance; or
- Assessment of child support through the Child Support Agency.
Only one of these will apply to you.
